    Anyone burning down schools to “protect the children” should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

    I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn’t religion per se, it’s misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

    Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It’s the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

    It’s a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.

      Yeah and a large cause of the integration failure is religion. If the culprits are extremist Muslims, they absolutely won’t “take a hard look at themselves”. They hate secular education.
